Embrace the Black Sheep for Innovation

In creative teams, incorporating a 'black sheep' can drive significant innovation and improvement. These individuals challenge the prevailing mindset, emphasizing the importance of narrative over technical prowess. By prioritizing storytelling, even teams known for their animation expertise, like Pixar, can create films that resonate emotionally and intellectually. While technical skill is important, the narrative must take precedence; only then can a project achieve true greatness. This balance fosters a dynamic environment where both expertise and diverse perspectives lead to superior creative outcomes.
